VSCode Positron

[keytapper]

Hi Atomix
I installed VScode for Archlinux. When I try to add your extension it doesn't find it.

Thank you for your well informed help.
It was last thing I could think of. I installed the code-marketplace package and that's all.

Edit

I stumbled in a issue, where are the files from the compilation?
If the source is on the folder other resulting files should be there.

To use within Kate or Notepad++ I use this bash command

Code Select Expand

#!/usr/bin/bash
var=$1
filepath=$(dirname "$var")
wine "C:\Program Files (x86)\ProtonIDE\PDS\loader.exe" "$var" -z 2>/dev/null
pbefile="${var%.*}".pbe

#if [ -f $pbefile ]; then
#    result=$(grep -ic error $pbefile)
#    xfce4-terminal -H -e cat $pbefile
#    if [ $result != 0 ]; then
#        echo "Press any key to close"
#        read -n 1
#        exit
#    fi
#    sleep 2.0
#fi

The commented part is an attempt to show the results for a little time. But I can't make it work.

Describe in more detail what exactly does not work and where.

[keytapper]

Sorry, I've been less specific.
I've a source on the editor and I press F9 (that I replaced by your setting just to keep closer to the original mode).
The output shows

Code Select Expand

[Running]  wine "/home/user/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/ProtonIDE/PDS/Loader.exe" "/tmp/test.Bas"
[Done] exited with code=0 in 11.6 seconds
Then I look in the folder /tmp/ and I have

Code Select Expand

ls test.*
test.Bas Whereas if I call my compilebas I will see

Code Select Expand

compilebas test.Bas && ls test.*
    Program Compiled OK. 129 Words used from a possible 4096
    45 Variables used in the 12F1840 from a possible 240

test.asm  test.Bas  test.cof  test.hex  test.lst  test.pbe

Funny is that if I recall the command issued within VScode, it will erase all file but not the source.
So the command issued within VScode is doing as this one

Code Select Expand

wine "/home/user/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/ProtonIDE/PDS/Loader.exe" "/tmp/test.Bas" && ls -l test.*
-rw-r--r-- 1 user users 623 23 mag 21.15 test.Bas
If I do this in the shell :

Code Select Expand

wine "C:\Program Files (x86)\ProtonIDE\PDS\loader.exe" "test.Bas" -z 2>/dev/null && ls -l test.*
    Program Compiled OK. 129 Words used from a possible 4096
    45 Variables used in the 12F1840 from a possible 240
-rw-r--r-- 1 user users 12504 23 mag 21.34 test.asm
-rw-r--r-- 1 user users   623 23 mag 21.15 test.Bas
-rw-r--r-- 1 user users  2811 23 mag 21.34 test.cof
-rw-r--r-- 1 user users   818 23 mag 21.34 test.hex
-rw-r--r-- 1 user users 41565 23 mag 21.34 test.lst
-rw-r--r-- 1 user users   138 23 mag 21.34 test.pbe
It works, therefore the option -z is missing. Just tell me how I can modify the command line and there we are.

[atomix]

The command line can only be the path to the executable file and does not contain any arguments.

I'll try to finalize this over the weekend.

[atomix]

New Release 2.4.7

- Added processing of command line arguments during compilation.
- Added calling the "compiler.cmd"  file instead of the compiler  if it is found in the source folder.
- Added calling the "programmer.cmd" file instead of the programmer if it is found in the source folder.

[keytapper]

The same as I summarized to call a batch file. Which is in facts what I made for my intent as she can see at post #224.
Edit
I thought it was simpler, but probably I took the wrong path. I saw this that is what will gear a batch file within the VScode.
I tried something but I got no results. Maybe it should be formatted within VScode itself. But I'm not familiar with it.

[atomix]

New Release 2.4.9

- Fixed processing of command file calls on Linux systems.

[keytapper]

Bravo! Great job!
It's strange how in Windows the command doesn't need the -z option.
I still have many things to know about VScode.

Hi Atomix,
I found an issue that is regarding source names with spaces. How to pass the name surrounded by quote?

[atomix]

in more detail ...

[keytapper]

Code Select Expand

wine "/home/user/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/ProtonIDE/PDS/Loader.exe" "/tmp/test my pgm.Bas"
The passed in source name should be surrounded by quote, this will avoid the name splitting into words.

[atomix]

You can write quotes in compiler arguments.

[atomix]

New Release 2.5.0

- Minor updates and fixes.

[kcsl]

Good evening Atomix,

I've been having a problem with some source code that won't compile, but will not show me the error.
I copied the code into the original Positron editor and it gave me the error "Item 'PUSH_SW' not found"

I've trimmed the code to the minimum so you can see the issue.

Besides this, I'm really liking your VS plug-in. Well done and thanks.

Kind regards,
Joe

Hi,
You need to let the compiler know what it is, something like
symbol PUSH_SW = porta.0

Hi,
Yes I know.... I probably should have been clearer in my explanation.

The issue is that the Positron Plug-in for VS Code doesn't always "show" what the error is.
The code I supplied is a cut down version of the program I was working on that caused the issue.

I had to paste the code into Positron IDE and try the compile there so I could see the details of the programming error.

Joe

[atomix]

Positron extension prints all errors from the compiler's standard output rather than from the *.pbe file

What version of Windows do you have?
What is displayed in the window during compilation?

[kcsl]

So I attempted to compile the faulty code several times and it's very inconsistent.
Sometimes it reports different errors, sometimes not.

After some experimentation I think I've figure it out.

I keep my source code on a network drive as there are several places I work from, so it makes sense to keep the code in one central, secure location.
This approach has been working fine since I first starting using VS and the extension.

The problem seems to be related to the path where the source code is held.
If I put the source in the root of the network drive, it's fine, but try and compile it from the project folder then it's very inconsistent.
It is quite a deep path but it's not ridiculous - 5 folders deep with a total path length of 65 characters.

I'm going to move to a PC in a different location that uses the same network storage and see if it still happens, but clearly, this is my issue and nothing to do with Positron or the extension.

Thanks for your speedy assistance.
Regards,
Joe
